HTC Tattoo review: Your phone, your ink

The HTC Tattoo wants to redefine smart in smartphone. This affordable little thing was among the first droids to go mass-market. But run-of-the-mill specs don't mean a boring personality. The HTC Tattoo wears its heart on the sleeve and a shirt...

Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support ; 3G with HSDPA 7.2 Mbps ; Heavily customizable: exchangeable covers ; Android OS v1.6 (Sense UI), upgradeable to 2.1 Eclair ; 2.8" resistive touchscreen of QVGA resolution ; Qualcomm MSM 7225 528 MHz CPU, 256 MB RAM,...

QVGA resolution doesn't do Android/ Sense UI graphics justice ; No video-call camera ; Camera lacks auto focus, flash and has a rather basic UI ; CIF@15fps video recording (352 x 288 pixels) is below par ; No voice dialing ; No DivX or XviD video...

The Android Market is a huge part of the deal with every droid phone. The HTC Tattoo has two: a beauty shop and a food store to go to. Back at launch, the QVGA screen resolution wouldn't let the Tattoo make the best of the Android Market. Things should...

Taking the software enhancements from your flagship Android smartphone and injecting it into the runt of the range might throw up warning signs for some, but that's exactly what HTC have done with the Tattoo . It may be smaller, pack fewer megapixels...

HTC Tattoo Smartphone Review

We look at HTC's slightly lower cost Android device that is targeted towards the younger audience.

Priced at AED 1,599 (US$435) or 1,699 with the Tattoo voucher, the HTC Tattoo is a bit expensive for its target market- the younger consumer. HTC does a good job by providing Wi-Fi and GPS as cellular data can be expensive for the younger crowd but the...

HTC Tattoo review – Stylish Android device, not better than Hero

HTC is making a try to redefine the smartphones with its new Android device – Tattoo. We think that it is one of the best smartphone in Android devices. According to the company, it is upgradeable to Android 2.1 OS. HTC Tattoo features revamped Sense...

Stereo FM with RDS, smart dialing; 3.2-megapixel camera; revamped HTC Sense user interface; quad-band GSM/EDGE/GPRS support

No Adobe Flash support for Web browser; small size and low-resolution screen limiting the benefits of Sense UI and video playback; no voice dialing

HTC Tattoo is a stylish phone that will attract youngsters and business users, but suffers with low resolution display and resistive touch-screen. It also does not feature pinch-to-zoom, ambient light sensor and multi-touch. If you need a smartphone...

This HTC Tattoo review reveals that this device is smaller but similar to the HTC EVO 4G. The HTC Tattoo is an accessible Android device that won't break the bank. The HTC EVO 4G always seems to be out of stock, but the HTC Tattoo is the next best...

HTC Tattoo Review

The explosion of Android devices manufactured by almost every well-known brand has been impressive lately. For the moment, HTC holds the supremacy over this market, as it already launched a few successful smartphones and also has its own UI for Android...

The compact form of the phone as well as the stylish design are among the best features of HTC Tattoo. Moreover, the wide range of high-end features makes the phone a must-have for Android fans that cannot buy themselves more expensive smartphones such...

As my test unit was missing lots of features, I will only point out what I would've wanted it to have, without necessarily listing them as negative points. I think an accelerometer and multi-touch features would've been great to have. Also, perhaps...
